Default Preventing Excel Product Piracy or Illegal Giveaways


I sell Excel-based software quite successfully. Delivery is as an *.xlt
template file. However, my educational customers like to pass it
around, for example, if I sell a copy to a student in Sao Paulo, I
could get a support question from a student in Buenos Aries a few
months later..., it happens everywhere, even the teachers do it, piracy
is rampant in edu-media. Can anyone help with suggestions on how I can
presonalize and prevent piracy and freebies and being ripped off - by
using VBA within the product, or by other means. Walkenbach and other
Excel software vendors do it. How can I? See us at SummitPK.com and
remember, when driving in the West, "Watch for falling rock!"
